The 11 a.m. event was rescheduled to 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 2, by the Rotary Club of Asbury Park and an emergency medical team who deemed it too unsafe for people to be in bathing suits at the beach in near zero-degree weather.

The annual event raises funds for Rotary Eye Rescue, a project that provides $2,000 corneal eye transplants to the blind. This year, the group will also brave the frigid Atlantic waters for superstorm Sandy relief.

Registration will now begin at 9:30 a.m. at McLoone’s Salt Water Beach Cafe, 1200 Ocean Ave.
